You’ll definitely run into a few celebrations this Cinco de Mayo, but the party we’re throwing right here in our test kitchens with Spicy Beer Queso will be the tastiest.

Maybe mariachi bands and piñatas are your thing, if not, take a taste of our newest recipe created for the world’s most perfect dipper – the pork rind. Of course, if you want to pick up a six-pack and a jar of salsa, we’re down for that too!

Nothing says happy #CincoDeMayo like a #Spicy Beer Queso, but can you handle the heat? https://www.southernrecipe.com/pork-rind-recipes-blog/ https://ctt.ec/w1QBh

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook through. Remove cooked ground beef from the heat and place on a place on a plate lined with paper towel.

Keep the heat under the skillet around medium-low and add olive oil, peppers, shallot and garlic with a pinch of salt. Stir well to coat. Let cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Turn the heat up to medium and add beer. After a few minutes, stir in softened cream cheese and continue stirring until it’s melted.

Once it is creamy, add in the white cheddar, stirring again until melted and reducing the heat to low. Stir in the black beans and beef, then remove from heat and serve immediately.

On April 3rd, baseball season will kick off with a Sunday night World Series rematch between the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals.
